Endiby taught us Chigwaya. Love it. His is a very good intense
\nteacher with a resonant voice very deep in voice and in thought. He
\ndistributed our bootie (blessed) tobacco processed by the mediums at
\nd. We are to bath and then mix a little with water and splash it over
\nour bodies without drying after wards. We are to include our own
\nprayers in the process. I invited my water spirit to come and be with
\nme. We are to do this for three days. I want to do it here in
\nZimbabwe. He said that it was okay to do it back home.<\/p>\n
Chigwaya is a song for the water spirits. Calling the mermaids. I will
\ntype in the words and perhaps record a little. The song is lovely and
\nis played for at least an hour when a new medium is being introduced
\nby the old medium. Water is poured over the medium until the medium is swimming in the mud and water on the floor. The water spirit medium is usually an herbalist and is very clean. More on this.<\/p>\n
I have the water spirit. This is important to me. Patience thinks it
\nis okay to work with Malidoma who is also a water spirit.<\/p>\n
I stayed at the lodge to practice, clear my things and do my prayer.
\nI burned a little Sao. Paola wood which helped me ground with some
\nZimbabwe coffee<\/p>\n
How can life ever be the same. Why am I not dreaming here.<\/p>\n
